I agree with , - we are born, we live, we die....and yet sometimes I feel there is more than we know. How comforting it must be to have true faith.

I definitely believe in everlasting life, though I cannot understand what form it will take. On my parents’ gravestone is the phrase ‘ Forever with the Lord’. That is the main point.

I believe the "vibe" we feel is the love and understanding we have for the person gone. It can last for a lifetime.

I could be very blunt, but I’ll just say I agree with BlueBelle
We are born, we live, we die - end of.

Agreed.

In principle I agree with Bluebelle. But that doesn’t quite explain the vibes - I suppose the best word - that can literally hang around after a person has died,

I hope that somehow we shall see our loved ones again after death.

Don’t know how, physically impossible as we once all were in life, but maybe our souls will connect and reunite.

Heaven must be a wonderful place.

I wish I thought I would see my family again in some kind of after life unfortunately I don’t believe there is anything after this life
What a comfort it must be to think there is

I believe what you believe.

Some people do say things for comfort.
I couldnt say whether your family are doing that or not.

Perhaps it is time to revisit church and see how you feel?

Someone close has recently died and it has brought my religious/spiritual beliefs to the forefront in my mind.
I am Christian, although more in a personal way, I haven’t been to church for years but I do believe in God, Jesus and heaven.
Til we meet again, is constantly in my mind and I really do believe we will but I am surrounded by family who do not believe in God, yet are now saying the same thing and are feeling the deceased around them.
I’ve just ignored this, as I’m sure it’s comforting to them but I truly believe in everlasting life and I’m confused by them saying this and I’m thinking is it something you just “say” for comfort, or is it really true.
What are your thoughts on seeing people again and everlasting life.
